reach for the sky...
Are you Ready?
I had on new clothes
New shoes on my feet
I was there for class on time
Went to the back and took my seat
Yeah I’m moving up
I’m already grown
Soon ill be graduating
And out on my own
I talked to some of my friends
We were all having fun
Said some things I shouldn’t have said
Did stuff I shouldn’t have done
I knew I was different
I felt God touched my heart
I knew I should set a standard
But then I’d be set apart
Walking to the bus
I was not looking for strength
I heard the car tires screeching
But now it’s too late
I’m standing in this room
And I can see the heavenly gate
Oh NO! I never prayed
I thought I had time to get it straight
An angel walked to me
He had a book in his hand
I knew it was the book of life
When would this dream end?
I told him my name
And he began to look
Then he looked at me sadly and said
Your name is not in this book
Angel this is a dream
No I can’t be dead
He closed the book and turned away
He whispered- you can not proceed ahead.
No…no this cant be real,
Angel you can’t turn me away
Let me talk to God
Maybe he’ll let me stay
Jesus, I cried, please,
Don’t put me away from you.
Tears ran down his face as he said,
You knew what you needed to do.
Lord, please I am young,
I never thought I would die.
I thought I’d have plenty of time,
Death caught me by surprise.
Lord, I went to church,
Please Jesus, I believe.
He said you would not accept me,
My love you would not receive.
Lord, there were too many hypocrites,
They weren’t being true.
He took a step back and asked,
What does that have to do with you?
Lord, my family claimed to be saved,
They weren’t real. You know.
He said, I died for you,
Now I have to go.
I fell to my knees crying to Him,
Lord, I planned to be real tomorrow.
I couldn’t make Him understand,
I had never felt such sorrow.
Then it hit me hard, I said,
Lord, WHERE WILL I GO??
He looked into my eyes and said,
My child you already know.
Please Jesus I begged,
The place is so hot.
It seemed to trouble and grieve him,
He whispered DEPART FROM ME, I KNOW YE NOT.
Lord, your supposed to be love,
How can you send me to damnation??
He replied, With your mouth you said you loved me,
But each day you rejected my salvation
With that, in an instant,
Day turned into night.
I never knew such torture,
Now too late, I know the Bible is right.
School,davisons,home..bed!
